Project description
Technology has changed how we get our news
The internet has profoundly changed the environment in which traditional media operate. Competition from online platforms has contributed to a sharp decline in advertising revenues forcing many news outlets to drastically rethink their business model and organisation. These changes may have detrimental consequences for the quality of news reporting and the provision of political information. The MIRAGE project will investigate the impact of the internet on content quality and the independence of mass media from private interests, such as advertisers and lenders. The project's findings will provide policymakers and media practitioners with novel insight into how the industry is transforming and what it means for the quality of democracy.
